He love his shoes, well he had no choice. It’s the only shoes he got. And that shoes has been with him through exam weeks, quizzes and even day out with friends. It is as if it’s his favorite shoes. He is not rich and shoes is not one of their priorities. He can only buy a pair every year, every Christmas.
He is not the type of person who complains. Although it has been weeks since his shoes starts to laugh (the sole is falling), he never minds. It’s not December yet, so what’s the sense, he’ll just have to live with it. He walked on and on getting used to it, walking without lifting much his feet. His shoes on the other hand, was trying all he can do to let his master know he is about to retire. They are both trying and the time comes when his shoes finally gave up.
One day while walking,he suddenly felt hot, his shoes sole fell off. All the while he was walking almost barefooted. It took him some minutes to find the sole of the shoes. As he went home, he cursed himself for not being careful enough. So while he try to fix it using a rugby and a stick, he promised himself that his kids will not experience it.. and yeah, he kept his promise.
He got his baby more than half a dozen of shoes! And look at the young boy, he is enjoying it so much, trying every pair and deciding which one to wear today.. an experience that his dad never had.
